Definitions

  • the present invention pertains to a method for isomerization of cis-chrysanthemate esters. More particularly, it pertains to a process for isomerization of alkyl or cycloalkyl cis-chrysanthemate esters (hereinafter referred to "cis-ester”) through epimerization at C 3 -position, which comprises contacting an alkyl or cycloalkyl chrysanthemate ester containing the "cis-ester", alone or in combination with the corresponding trans-chrysanthemate ester, with a Lewis acid, to transform the "cis-ester" into the corresponding trans-chrysanthemate ester to obtain an alkyl of cycloalkyl trans-chrysanthemate ester (hereinafter referred to "trans-ester”), or an alkyl or cycloalkyl chrysanthemate ester rich in the "trans-ester”.
  • cis-ester alkyl or
  • the present invention relates to a process for isomerizing optically active "cis-esters”, which comprises contacting an optically active "cis-ester", represented by the formula (I), (wherein R means an alkyl or cycloalkyl group) or an alkyl or cycloalkyl chrysanthemate ester rich in (+)-"cis-ester” with a Lewis acid selected from boron trifluoride-etherate, iron chloride and aluminium chloride, to transform the optically active "cis-ester” into the optically active "trans-ester” represented by the formula ((II), (wherein R is as described above) to obtain the (+)-"trans-ester", or an alkyl or cycloalkyl chrysanthemate ester rich in (+)-"trans-ester".
  • R means an alkyl or cycloalkyl group
  • a Lewis acid selected from boron trifluoride-etherate, iron chloride and aluminium chloride
  • the present invention is to provide a process for the transformation of the configuration at the C 3 - position of an alkyl or cycloalkyl chrysanthemate, in other words, a process for the isomerization based upon the C 3 -epimerization.
  • Chrysanthemic acid is the acid component of the esters known as so-called "pyrethroidal insecticides" such as pyrethrin, allethrin and phthalthrin.
  • This carboxylic acid has four optical isomers, that is, two geometrical isomers. (cis and transforms), each of which has two optical isomers [(+)- and (-)-forms].
  • optically active trans-chrysanthemic acid is useful as a resolving agent for optically active amines.
  • chrysanthemic acid possesses two asymmetric carbons at C i - and C 3 -positions, and the four isomers, (+)-cis, (-)-cis, (+)-trans and (-)-trans forms, have the absolute configuration of (1 R, 3S), (1S, 3R), (1 R, 3R) and (1S, 3S), respectively.
  • (+)-cis chrysanthemic acid compounds can be transformed into (+)-trans ones through the C 3 -epimerization efficiently under comparatively moderate reaction conditions, by contacting the (+)-cis carboxylic acid ester with a Lewis acid selected from boron trifluoride-etherate, iron chloride and aluminium chloride.
  • a Lewis acid selected from boron trifluoride-etherate, iron chloride and aluminium chloride.
  • the alkyl or cycloalkyl chrysanthemate obtained according to the present invention can be converted easily to chrysanthemic acid by hydrolysis.
  • the starting optically active cis-chrysanthemate esters can be prepared by a process of the optical resolution of ( ⁇ )-cis chrysanthemic acid, followed by the esterification (JP-A-125342/1974), or by a process to derive it from an optically active dihydrochrysanthemolactone (JP-A-30669/1972). Accordingly, any combination of these technologies with the process of the present invention enables the obtainment of the (+)-trans form compound with high efficiency.
  • the racemic "trans-ester” can be prepared. Accordingly, the process of the present invention is to provide a novel process to prepare a racemic "trans-ester” from the racemic "cis-ester” or its cis-trans mixture.
  • trans-chrysanthemate ester having the same sign of optical rotation can be prepared according to the present invention.
  • optically active cis-chrysanthemate esters may be of sole cis form or a mixture in any proportion with the trans-chrysanthemate ester having the same sign of optical rotation. Further, they may also be of any degree of optical purity, or any optical isomer ratio, including racemic form. It is preferable to employ the optically active ester having exclusively or dominantly one side of the optical rotations, from the standpoint of the utilization of the product.
  • the substituent R in the esters as represented in the formulae (I) and (II), may be an alkyl or cycloalkyl group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, including methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, hexyl, octyl, menthyl, etc. group.
  • a solvent is preferably used, which does not essentially obstruct the reaction.
  • saturated hydrocarbon including hexane, heptane, cyclohexane, octane, etc.
  • halogenated aromatic hydrocarbon including chlorobenzene, etc.
  • ethers Among them, hexane, heptane and other saturated hydrocarbons are preferred.
  • the amount of Lewis acid employed is not particularly limitative, but may ordinarily be within the range from about 1/200 mol to the equivalent mol, preferably from about 1/100 to 1/2 mol, based on the mol of the ester material.
  • the reaction temperature may ordinarily be selected from the range of about -70°C to 150°C, preferably from about -30°C to 100°C, since an exceedingly high temperature tends to cause the cleavage of the cyclopropane ring or other side reactions.
  • the reaction time varies depending upon the amount of Lewis acid employed and the reaction temperature. Usually the isomerization is accomplished within about 1 minute to 20 hours.
  • the proceeding of the reaction can be checked by any of gas-chromatography, liquid chromatography, measurement of the optical rotation, etc.
  • the process of the present invention may be carried out under a diminished or pressurized atmosphere, but easily under the ordinary atmosphere, to fulfill the present object.
  • an inert gas atmosphere such as nitrogen.
  • any of batchwise and continuous procedures are employed.
  • any methods can be employed, for example, the starting ester and a Lewis acid may be added into a reaction vessel, or the ester or the Lewis acid may be continuously or intermittently added depending upon the proceeding of the reaction.
  • the reaction mixture may be treated to remove the Lewis acid, and concentrated to obtain an optically active "trans-ester” or a chrysanthemate ester mainly comprising the same. Hydrolysis of the resulting ester with an aqueous alkali solution, readily gives optically active trans-chrysanthemic acid or chrysanthemic acid mainly comprising the same, which may be further purified by distillation or a chromatography.
  • the optically active chrysanthemic acid thus obtained may be utilized for various usages.
  • (+)-trans-chrysanthemic acid can be converted to various highly effective insecticidal compounds, by the reaction with a group of alcohol, so-called pyrethroidal alcohols, such as pyrethrolone, allethrolone, etc.
  • the product was mixed with 6.2 g of an aqueous 20% sodium hydroxide solution, and the mixture was stirred at a temperature of 100°C for 2.5 hours to effect hydrolysis.
  • the reaction mixture was extracted with toluene to remove the neutral substance, and the aqueous layer was acidified with a diluted hydrochloric acid.

  • the ester was mixed with 6.2 g of an aqueous 20% sodium hydroxide solution, and the mixture was stirred at a temperature of 100°C for 2.5 hours to effect hydrolysis.
